This is a 3 owner truck, it was on non op when I bought it and I wasn t going to register it but I had it a little longer than I had originally planned, so I am the 3rd owner (but i wouldn t consider myself one, Ive had it for 3 months). The 2nd owner bought this truck in the 90s from the old couple that had purchased it new. The 2nd owner added a few upgrades to the truck, swapped door panels, seat, added factory tach, factory tilt, 5 lug all around with disc in front. He claimed that the original bezel had 8x,xxx miles on it when he switched it out with the tach bezel. When it came time for 2nd owners son to drive he pulled the big block out of the truck and built him a 350, with that being said he wrapped up the big block and stored it away. His son wanted nothing to do with the truck. When I heard there was somebody locally that had been threatening to sell his big block truck because his son wanted something else, I made contact with him and made arrangments to see it. So I bought this truck with the 350 in it and the original big block came along with it.
We tore the 400 apart and started cleaning it and checking it out to see how it looked. The rings, bearings, crank and heads were all in good shape, the engine was very sanitary, which was fantastic. We bought new parts and started putting it back together, listed below.
The truck is in very original condition but has NO SERIOUS RUST, the rockers and corners are super solid on this truck. The body has minor dings here and there, there are no MAJOR dents anywhere, the front passenger fender is primered, rest of the paint is faded and scratched up but has that "cool original look", wood bed is shot. The seat and carpet were installed brand new by 2nd owner but dont show new due to sun fading, but in person you can tell they have barely been used. As far as weather stripping goes its in tact but old, window felt is there but old. Truck runs good, lots of power, tranny shifts great, this truck drives and rides very solid and tight (as far as steering, suspension and braking), it has some of the normal rattles due to old window felts. Headliner is in very good condition, chrome trim isnt chrome anymore due to fading (not pictured).

Chevy Trax engineer says GMC version possible
Mon, Dec 8 2014The Buick Encore is doing so well and its platform-mate the Chevrolet Trax has such good reviewer vibes going for it already, that a GMC version hasn't been ruled out. During the recent press launch, Automotive News asked lead engineer Al Manzor if the Trax could wear a GMC-branded suit, to which Manzor replied, "I think that is certainly possible." That's a long way from telling us anything about the probability of a GMC version of the Trax, and a legion of questions would need to be answered before it could happen. How would a GMC version be priced to leave room for the $26,465 GMC Terrain but not eat into sales of the $20,995 Trax or the $24,035 Encore? Or would that matter? Could it primarily be considered to encourage a new faction of The Yukon Set at the compact end, GMC buyers being famously committed to the marque? And of course, would there be a Denali version? It'll probably be a long while before we have any kind of answers, but if you want to see it happen, the door to your campaign of persuasion is at least ajar.
Mark Reuss: GM can't afford product 'misses,' has 'thought about' CT6 V-Series
Thu, Apr 9 2015Mark Reuss is a busy man. He oversees General Motors' global product portfolio, an all-encompassing task for a company that sold more than 9.9 million cars and trucks last year. When GM launches a well-received product, like the road-going rocket ship that is the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 – he gets credit. When the company stumbles with the slow-selling Chevy Malibu or grapples with fallout from the decade-old Saturn Ion and its flawed ignition switch, he gets blamed. GM owners, the press and sometimes the federal government, demand answers. Bob Lutz famously held the job before Reuss. So did Mary Barra, who's now GM's chief executive. There's a New GM, but the lineage is connected to a long history. When he's not thinking product, Reuss, an executive vice president, also runs the purchasing and supply chain for the company, which is still one of the largest industrial empires in the world. We caught up with Reuss on the floor of the New York Auto Show, where GM had just rolled out two crucial new products: the 2016 Cadillac CT6 and the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu. Speaking with a small group of reporters, Reuss delved into a variety of subjects, including the new Malibu, Cadillac's future (he thinks the ATS-V is going to "flame the M3 and M4"), and other topics. On fixing the Malibu: "We can't miss. We can't have those kinds of misses [like the previous generation] on our cars and crossovers and trucks. We can't do that. If we do that, we give a reason for someone to go buy something else. It's that simple. "On a car like the Malibu we have a chance to really fix all of that, which we have, and then lead. Then you've got a real opportunity there. So that's what we've really been focused on here – to fix those things." He later added: "We need that car here to transform Chevrolet desperately because it's the heart of the market. And when you think of Chevrolet, people will come back and think about what we did with the [new] Malibu and the Cruze... It's hugely important to us." On Cadillac: "If we go out and try and out-German the Germans, it's probably not going to work. We've got an opportunity here generationally where there's a lot of people younger than me that have parents that drove BMWs and Mercedes, and I think there's an opportunity there for those people to drive something different than what their parents did, and I think that's always been an opportunity in the auto industry if you look at the history of it.
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
